what Grandma Knows About Those Queer
and Awkward Birds-
Ostrich children! This makes you
smile. my dears. and you wonder what
Grandma means. but ! shouldn't be
surprised II there were some Of The
self-samc children in my family. Let
us see.
Possibly some Of you have seen m
ostrich in public park or garden in

ticed that il j. large bird. with very
fine feathers But although the os-
trich Is 50 large and strong, II Is .
silly bird. and Il not good for any
thing except its feathers These are
very valuable. and my children who
have never seen the bird itself. know
how beautiful these are. for they have
seen them many times In the millincr's
window or upon ladies' bonnets In
Australia and South Africa. the rco-
pie have what they call ostrich farms
and make . business Of raising
tho birds for the sake
OF their feathers All that u
needed to keep the birds from run.
ming away Is low. light fence. The
ostrich can not ny. its wings are loo
small. but Il has long. strong legs
and can run and jump. and II Il were
not : foolish bird indeed. It could
easily spring over the fence. Or with
one blow Of its powerful foot break y
down and got away. But when i
comes to the fence and feels the light
rail against its legs. II thinks i can
not get over IL 50 It makes no attempt
and let's itself be taken. Occasionally
/ an ostrich does succeed In getting
away; II runs swiftly for awhile, ana
then burics its head in the sand. and
| because IL can sec no one, thinks no
one can SEQ II. and i caught again.
| Now. nv dear. there are children
| who resemble tho ostrich very much
| in some respects. Whenever such an
obstacle as = hard lesson. = trouble
some piece Of work. or a pcrplexing
question comes In their way, they say:
II can't" or Il don't know" instead
Of trying TO step over and break kown
the difficulty. Then there are children
who have very limo feathers, that Is.
pretty clothes; they are 50 fond Of these
that they become vain and Disagree
able. and make themselves very unlov-
able. These children are hiding their
heads in their beautiful clothes, think
ing that no one can zee their fanlts.
